摘要:
An apparatus for lasting footwear, including a rotatable roll that is articulated on a spherical joint to permit the roll to adapt to and last any curvature it encounters on the insole of any shoe assembly it is operating upon.
摘要:
In a side (or side and seat) lasting machine two side lasting assemblies (230) are provided each comprising a side lasting roll (276) having a helical wiper element (282). As the rolls (276) are caused to operate progressively along opposite side portions of the shoe bottom from the heel breast line region toewardly, they are caused to rotate thus effecting an inwiping action on the lasting margin and pressing it against the insole margin. At a predetermined point in such progressive operation, at least one of the rolls (276) is displaced axially inwardly towards one another to enhance the inwiping action. This axial displacement may take place at the ball region of the shoe bottom, i.e. at or just before the end of the operation, and only the "outside" roll (276) or both rolls (276) may be so displaced. Alternatively the "outside" roll (276) may be displaced when it has reached the waist region, and in addition, if desired, the "inside" roll (276) in such circumstances is displaced axially inwardly at the start of the lasting operation.
摘要:
Apparatus for pulling the lasting edge of a lasted shoe upper over an insole has at least one flexible elastic shaft one end portion of which is anchored in a motor-driven rotor and which is loosely surrounded by a helical spring. One end of the spring is anchored in the rotor and its other end is movable axially of the shaft toward and away from the one end. The spring yields in response to the application of an excessive pull to the lasting edge and thus prevents overstressing of the lasting edge and/or the development of wrinkles.
摘要:
A single-station combined toe and side lasting machine comprises pulling over instrumentalities 20, 22 for tensioning an upper over its last, toe lasting instrumentalities, including toe wipers 38, toe pad 48 and toe band 50, a heel support 56, two adhesive applying nozzles 28 and side lasting instrumentalities 114 constituted by two lasting rollers 176. In operation, with the upper tensioned, first the shoe is clamped by the toe lasting instrumentalities and heel support to allow adhesive to be applied progressively along opposite side portions from the toe to heel breast. Then the lasting rollers operate progressively from the ball region to the heel breast, and, when the rollers have cleared the ball region, the inwiping movement of the toe wipers is completed. The nozzles and side lasting rollers are mounted on a common carriage 26 which moved rectilinearly, supports 116 for the rollers being mounted for movement thereon about three perpendicular axes 82, 122, 140. The rollers are also supported by carriers 174 on said supports for pivotal movement about a further axis 170. In this way, the rollers can follow the contour of the shoe bottom and also the angular relationship of the rolers with the shoe bottom can be varied in two planes. For following the shoe bottom contour the rollers (and also, independently, the nozzled) are moved by stepping motors 80, 166 (96) in accordance with a program instruction, under the control of which also the angular relationship is varied. The carriers for the rollers also support wiping fingers 222 which ensure that the lasting margin of the upper is correctly positioned for engagement by the rollers.
